Description
This book focuses on Derek Walcott’s literary and artistic wor(l)d. Western postcolonial critique has depicted the Nobel Prize laureate as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century world. This, however, devalues his fundamental contribution to the realm of Caribbean theatre and art.
Mattia Mantellato holds a PhD (Doctor Europaeus) in English Language and Literatures from the University of Udine, Italy, and is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow working on the project “English Caribbean Literatures of the Ocean: Eco-Feminist and Transdisciplinary Perspectives for a New Blue Aesthetic”. He researches and publishes on Derek Walcott’s work, world literatures, English literature, performance and dance studies and multimodal studies. He is also a professional ballet dancer, choreographer and artist. He graduated from La Scala Ballet Academy in Milan, and, for seven seasons, was part of the ensemble of the National Ballet Theatre of Prague.
